WEBVTT - Hour 3 - John Smoltz (07-27-20) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.039 Sports Radio. Wow, we're two hours through and covered a 0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.200 lot of ground here. Welcome to the program. We'll talk 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:14.360 to John Smoltz, the Hall of Famer on loan from 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.000 MLB Network and Fox. Join us on about twenty minutes 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.759 from now. Miami Marlins home opener against the Orioles has 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.600 been postponed. They have fourteen members of the team that 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.560 have tested positive. They're still in Philadelphia, not sure when 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.319 they're getting back home. They're supposed to have another game 0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:37.640 against the Orioles tomorrow, then they go to Baltimore for 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.040 two more games there. The Phillies Yankees game has been 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.480 postponed tonight because the Marlins were just there in Philadelphia 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.440 facing the Phillies and now the Yankees come to town. 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.960 Other than that, how's your Monday? We talked a little 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.800 bit about the Jamal Adams trade. We loved with sassa 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.360 grade who won, who lost? And I would say Seattle 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:03.040 one because they got something right now. I don't know 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.920 what the Jets are going to do with these draft picks, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:08.080 but you get Jamal Adams, who is a marquee player, 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.520 and you have a run first defensive minded team in Seattle, 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:18.560 and Pete Carroll got himself another great safety. And this 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.679 is a team that's competing for a Super Bowl, was 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.160 competing for a Super Bowl prior to this, and now 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.520 you add Jamal Adams and you added him. Basically, I 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.240 think to compete against the forty nine Ers twice during 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:35.520 the regular season because he's great at rushing the passer, running, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.959 stopping the running game. And I would just say to him, 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.039 when we play the Niners, meet your best friend George 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.520 Kittle on the other side of the ball. But just 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:45.880 some of the thoughts that I had and that I 0:01:45.920 --> 0:01:47.560 don't know what the Jets do with the draft picks. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.000 They have a new GM who came from the Ravens, 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:54.720 Joe Douglas, and he was with Philadelphia as well and 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.640 has a good pedigree here, and maybe they're able to 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.640 use these draft picks to get some impact players. You're 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.680 gonna get somebody in twenty third, twenty four, twenty fifth 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:07.240 pick overall because pencil in Seattle for nine, ten, maybe 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.240 eleven wins this year, and I understand it. Seattle's trying 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.080 to win now with Russell Wilson. I get it, and 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:17.560 the Jets they are going to finish last again this year. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:22.320 They have nothing to show for this their draft picks 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.160 since what twenty ten? They have nothing to show for this. 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.240 They have Sam Darnold. That's basically it when it comes 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.480 to first round picks. I don't like their coach and 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.760 Adam Gase. I feel like he's more of a coordinator 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:42.520 than a coach. But they won seven games last year. Shocker. 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.200 They somehow won seven games. I don't know if they 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.000 were trying to win seven, but they won seven games 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:53.000 last year. The Astros have lost Justin Burlander. He says 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:56.600 that it's just maybe for a week, but it could 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.359 be more serious than that. Lou Williams is out for 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.720 the Clipper. He had gone to a strip club for 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.680 takeout with Wings, and he has been on record as 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.920 saying that he loves Magic City. He loves the Wings. 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.360 It's his favorite restaurant in the world, not the United States, 0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.720 not Atlanta, the world. So it must have been worth 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:22.640 it for Lou Williams of the Clippers, and I would 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.600 not allow him back in the bubble. I know that 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.120 you have to because of the Union. I would not 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.799 let Lou Williams back in the bubble. I'd basically say 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.040 to him, Lou, enjoy the Wings. Hope you watch the 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.320 TV and enjoy the Clippers as they move forward. The 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.680 NBA begins in three days, and I guess, you know, 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:45.800 if you're the NBA, you're holding your breath. But you're 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.800 in the bubble. You know, occasionally have guys who are 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:51.280 going to do these things. But you know, I think 0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:56.560 the commissioner is cautiously optimistic about this season. It's not 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:59.920 starting on time, it's will you see it through to completion. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:05.240 I don't see how baseball completes this season. I just don't. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:10.720 I mean, we're we're not even a week in. I 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.360 just I don't know how you're able to do it 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.520 because there is no bubble. And at the time we 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.719 wondered could the NBA pull this off with a bubble? 0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.800 The NHL with a bubble. And it feels like they've 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.560 cut down on you know, the you know, the percentages, 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:30.560 the negative percentages, the risk that's there, and they'll get 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:33.680 this season off on time. But it's been kind of 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:37.320 crazy here with what's going on. Major League Baseball deciding 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.320 that they're going to cancel the h the Phillies and 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:45.560 the Yankees game. You know, the Marlins are stuck in Philadelphia. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.760 Guys are gonna have to get tested. When can you 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.360 fly home? Do you fly home? Can you go to Baltimore? 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.040 And then what's going to happen to these games? At 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.680 some point the commissioner has to say, this is survival 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.120 of the fittest. If you're not healthy enough to field 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.960 a team, then you forfeit the game. You've got sixty games, 0:05:08.560 --> 0:05:11.479 You've got sixty seven days, and you start to do 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.719 the math. You can only postpone, cancel a couple of these. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.720 Then you have to start issuing forfeits. But this hurts 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.599 the Orioles as well. And I know it's the Marlins 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.360 and the Orioles, but if this was Philadelphia and the 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:28.159 Yankees the game tonight, or the Dodgers are involved in this, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.599 then all of a sudden, this would be a big deal. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:34.440 But because it's the Marlins, we go, oh, it's the Marlins. 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:38.040 They can't do anything right. No, this is doesn't matter 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.760 the name of the team. It's what's going on in 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.359 Major League Baseball and the fact that they allowed them 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.279 to play the game over the weekend. Why did the 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.400 Marlins play baseball on Sunday and let me refresh your memory, 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.000 because multiple sources confirmed that the Marlins played despite having 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:59.080 three players learn Sunday that they had tested positive, just 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:02.359 two days after a fourth player learned of a possible 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:08.919 test on Friday. The Athletic talked to two infectious disease specialists, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:12.240 who told the Athletic on Sunday that those positive tests 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:16.080 fit the definition of a quote clear outbreak of the 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:21.400 virus within the team. Sources said those tests were not 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:24.760 enough for either Major League Baseball or the club itself 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.400 to give serious consideration postponing the game. You didn't give 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:37.240 it serious consideration. How many do I need for serious consideration? 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.960 I'm guessing you gave a consideration, but serious consideration. No, 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:51.400 we need to have more than four. God all right, Uh, 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:53.800 let me see but poll question, mclovan, are we going 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.560 to stay with the Jamal Adams polution? People said the 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:02.160 Seahawks say the Seahawks won Jamal Adams trade for This 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.119 is from PAULI. This is off the Lou Williams story. 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.400 You have to eat one of these kinds of foods 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.800 airplane food, strip club food, Delhi buffet food like New 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:17.720 York City Delhi buffet or gas station hot food, you know, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.960 like a hot dog on a rotisserie at a circle 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.960 K and Scottsdale, where you're going in a seven eleven 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.800 two when you see those hot dogs and whether they 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:34.120 they sort of resemble a hot dog only malnourished airplane 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.160 food is very bland. It's it's only because you're in 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.760 a controlled environment. It never works out well, if you 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.560 know what I mean, Yes, Todd, When I was a kid, 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.200 I got a hot dog once out of a bowling 0:07:44.200 --> 0:07:46.720 alley machine when they used to have such things like that. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.960 And I heat it up like it said too in 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.360 the little that they provided in the corner by lane 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.240 twelve or whatever. And I don't know if you know, 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.520 like remember the gob stoppers had two different colors on 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.880 the outside. I had that pinkish brown hot dog look, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.680 but then there was like a little green ring. I 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.800 took a bite, not to make anybody brought a lunchtime 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.800 on the East Coast, But that was nast Did you 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.400 finish it? I may have had a couple more bites. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:08.680 I don't think I ate the whole thing. Break. I 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:10.760 just want to make sure to see how far deep 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:15.920 the green line went. Wow, you're not throw it out 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.840 of you. I was really hungry. Yeah, but these were 0:08:20.880 --> 0:08:23.680 the machines where you put the money and press the 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.400 button exactly. Then you would have to heat it up. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.960 I can't beeve had that thing. But back then you 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:28.800 can get like a hot dog, gray Hamburger, pizza in 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.280 a machine like at a coin operating machine and pull 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.400 it out of there. Yes, strip club food, you never 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.760 think that there's going to be a high end, award 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:39.440 winning chef working back in the kitchen. It doesn't seem 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.040 like a place that where a high end chef aspire. 0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.520 Chef Ramsey didn't Gordon Ramsey didn't start in a strip crow. 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:46.640 I don't think they didn't. I don't know. So I've 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.840 never had a meal. I've never had a lunch or 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.520 dinner in a strip club. Now I've been with a 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:59.600 guy who ordered a steak. He ordered a huge steak, 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:05.400 and um, I just thought, okay, I think I might 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.680 have seen it all now and he made Why what 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:10.040 else do you gain? Yeah? He made no apologies. He 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.800 goes man mistake here is great. Now. He a former 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.920 former baseball player, and you know he knew the the 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.040 strip club. I don't know if you went with this. Remember, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:21.920 I had to make a deal. I can't mention I 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360 shouldn't mention the name. But I had to make a 0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.840 deal that I would go to the strip club for 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:32.080 thirty minutes this Nope, no, no, not that one. I 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.080 had to go. I said, you know, we were going 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.160 to go to a bar in Atlanta. I think it 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:41.800 was Fido's or something like that. In Yeah, and the 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.360 guy we were with said, I want to go to 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:49.560 Cheetah three. And I said, all right, thirty minutes. And 0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.560 we get there and he walks in and he is 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.040 going to town. Everybody knows him, and he's like, you know, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:01.720 so I get stuck. Well, I'm waiting for him and 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.600 the clock is running, and now we're at forty five minutes. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:08.360 He goes, oh, I can't leave. I ordered steak. I said, okay. 0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:13.120 I meet a woman, a dancer who is from Kentucky. 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.840 And she says, I can see your soul through your eyes. 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.320 And I went, get me out of here, get me 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.040 out of here. She says, I hear you're from Cincinnati. 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:32.320 We're really close. And I went, no, I don't think 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:36.840 So he goes, yeah, Florence, Kentucky and Cincinnati really close. 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.560 I said, but I don't live there anymore. And then 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.439 she said, I can see your soul through your eyes. 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:47.920 Check plays, yes, Todd. I was at a strip club 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:49.920 in Kentucky once for a friend's wedding, and I can 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:53.080 remember some women came up to us, not to particularly attractive, 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.800 might have had some dental issues. Mak turned again, making 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.240 could have a dollar, and it was just very, very frightening. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.400 I don't know why we left the heading in the 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.040 middle in our tuxedos to go into a strip club 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.640 a couple of blocks away, but we did my turn 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:12.160 to get naked. Thank You's about the size of like 0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.360 your average offensive line was just not a good show. 0:11:18.600 --> 0:11:22.439 Alrighty man, can we get sidetracked on this program? We 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.800 lead the league in getting sidetracked here. I meant, well 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.440 when I started this hour, I did. We gave you 0:11:28.440 --> 0:11:30.000 our best and worst of the weekend. A couple more 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.640 phone calls in here, Mike and Iowa joining us on 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:34.640 the program. Good morning, Mike, what do you have for 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:42.240 me today? Mike Iowa? Five eleven two eighty, thank you, 0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:46.600 best of the weekend. Kyle Hendrick's complete game shutout. I 0:11:46.679 --> 0:11:48.320 know you already talked about it, so we don't need 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:50.480 to harp on that one. But the worst of the 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.520 weekend is that the MLB is still holding fast and 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:57.280 true to their blackout rules. Oh yeah, I know I 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.679 saw that. Thank you, Mike. I just don't know why 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:01.960 you had to Hendricks go the entire game like a 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:07.040 complete game three hitter. He pitched against the White Sox 0:12:07.320 --> 0:12:10.920 in one of their spring training games. I love watching 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.280 him pitch because he's one of those pitchers. He doesn't 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:18.160 overwhelm you with velocity, but man, can he just pitch 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:23.679 the very smart pitcher. And so at the first complete 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:26.080 game of this I don't think there's gonna be if 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:30.920 I said over under complete games and I said five 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.080 by any pitcher, Yeah, no total over the whole for 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.960 the whole season. You might be right. I don't know 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:40.920 how many teams are gonna go. Yeah, let me send 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.040 him back out there because you need all hands on 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:46.920 deck in his sixty games. Sprint here George in Arizona, George, 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.880 Welcome to the program. How are you doing, Dan? Great? George. 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.800 I tell you I had a wonderful weekend and it 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:59.840 was because of our team, the Diamondbacks. The first day 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.720 the Weather, a great new pitcher. He blew it in 0:13:02.800 --> 0:13:06.200 the sixth inning and we lost the second game, the 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:13.400 same thing we lost. Then last night, in the very 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.240 very end of the game, the last three or four innings, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.839 we came through, we started hitting, and we won the game. 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:25.160 In about an hour we play again, so I'm hoping. 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:30.200 And then later on I saw the Suns. So that's 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.280 two in a row. Well, that sounds like a full 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.680 weekend there, George, sounds like a great weekend. Thanks for 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:40.160 the phone call. There, read a book, and I got 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.080 some work done on my toes. It's the big one's 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:47.000 been acted up again. I call Chuck, then the Oldsmobile. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:54.400 He's gonna put it the rest. And then when in 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.840 North Carolina, Hi, Win, what do you have for me today? Hey? Dan? 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.400 How are you great? Are you watching the show? As usual? 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.720 I'm gonna start off with the worst of the weekend, 0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:11.600 which is the passing of Peter Green, who founded Fleetwood Mac. 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:17.000 And he was the best blues guitarist of his era, 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:21.360 and that includes Clapton. Unfortunately, when he left Fleetwood Mac 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:24.800 became the bubblegum machine that we know all too well. 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:31.640 All right, the best was the Yankees playing this weekend 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:34.800 and me being able to listen to John Sterling and 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.720 Susan Waldman called the games. I just loved them, and 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.800 just says an aside to that, I cannot believe the 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:48.360 incredibly poor judgment of whoever let the Marlins play? Thank 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.480 you win? Yeah, I mean that that is a big 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:56.080 story right now, because I don't know who the Phillies 0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:03.360 came in contact with the Marlins. Yeah, Peter Green was 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.520 the founder of Fleetwood Mac and it was a completely 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:10.240 a different sounding group. So he had Mick Fleetwood, the drummer, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.520 Peter Green, they started Fleetwood Mac. I did not realize this, 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:19.360 but the Santana song Black Magic Woman was written by 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.600 Peter Green, I believe of Fleetwood Mac. But he was 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.480 a great blues guitarist, and in that era, you know, 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.560 when you had Clapton and some of these other great 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:34.480 guitar players, Peter Green was right there held his own. Yeah, 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.800 mcle why didn't he get his name in the band 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.040 If it's a Fleetwood Mac, I don't know why he 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.280 didn't call it, you know, Fleetwood Green, Fleetwood or Fleetwood 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.360 Green or something like that. But didn't they bring in 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.000 John McVie, the bass player and maybe that was the 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.400 Fleetwood and then they all intermarried and stuff, right, are 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.480 there all the drama? Well, Christine McVie was married to 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:59.320 John McVie, but then they got divorced. Mick Fleetwood, I 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:02.480 think when out was v Knicks, but then you had 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.720 Lindsey Buckingham who was dating Stevie Nicks as well. Other 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.440 than that, if you don't know the band, you're not 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.440 sure if Lindsay is a man or a Lindsay is 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.880 a man, very handsome man. Yeah, so I just happened. Now, 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.680 I'm not familiar with Peter Green, so you know, immediately 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.040 went to Wikipedia and it's it's very long. So I 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.360 just started scrolling down real quick, and the sentence that 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:26.160 I landed on, it's a very small paragraph, but it 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:29.760 says Green's bandmates began to notice changes in a state 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:32.520 of mind. He was taking large doses of LSD, grew 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.640 a beard and began to wear robes in a crucifix 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:40.440 Mick Fleetwood recross Green becoming concerned about accumulating wealth. I 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:43.000 had conversations with Peter Green around that time, and he 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.920 was obsessive about us not making any money, wanting us 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.240 to give it all away, and I'd say, well, you 0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.200 could do that. I don't want to do that, and 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.520 that doesn't make me a bad person. So that's when 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:58.520 they started to take note of his demeanor, a robe 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.800 across and large quantities of LSD. Yeah, and didn't want 0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:07.040 any money. Okay, you know, Peter, I think we're gonna 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:10.120 go in a different direction. Peter. I think we're gonna 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.199 go to pop music this time. And I think the 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.640 blues you're taking them a little too seriously, Peter, put 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:22.800 away the CITs are and get on board. Man. All right, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:25.320 we'll take a break. John Smoltz will join us coming 0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:29.480 up next. Maybe he's got some thoughts on what baseball 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.520 should be doing now and at what point do you 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:35.520 start forfeitting games with these teams?

John. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.000 Pretty eventful Monday here considering the Yankees and Phillies has 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:37.280 been postponed. The Marlins can't fly home from Philadelphia. They 0:18:37.320 --> 0:18:40.720 got fourteen members of the organization who tested positive. And 0:18:40.800 --> 0:18:43.159 we don't know about the Phillies anybody who came in 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:49.720 contact with them other than that. How's your Monday? Yeah, 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.560 this is not It's not obviously the news you want 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.960 to have when a baseball season is getting ready to 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.159 be one of the most exciting seasons ever I know. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.600 Going into this Baseball hats so many different protocols and 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:05.520 scenarios that if things came up, they had the luxury 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:07.399 of moving a team out of a hot spot or 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:10.320 so on. You know, you just hope that the certain 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.400 trends that have happened the last couple of weeks, guys 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:16.800 seem to be getting over it really quickly, and there 0:19:16.800 --> 0:19:19.720 hasn't been any real setbacks there. But when you have 0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.240 a high number and one team that is a concern. 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:27.200 I'm going to remain optimistic because I think if everybody 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:31.080 keeps pulling in the right direction and adheres to the protocols, 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:33.600 maybe this is just a little bit of a blip. 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:38.320 But it's certainly it's certainly a number that no franchise 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:41.199 or team wants to have happened at any point in 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.680 the season yet alone really early. But I'm wondering, John, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:48.159 at one point, these are games that are postponed, But 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.080 at what point do they become forfeits Because we only 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:54.439 have we have a finite number of days, and we 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.920 know we have sixty games to get those games in. 0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.120 I don't know how much wiggle room is there from 0:19:59.119 --> 0:20:02.840 Major League Baseball to extend the regular season as far 0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:06.240 as dates go. Yeah, I mean, it is a it's 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:10.040 a tough it's a quandary, right, I mean, if this 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.560 was multiple teams, I think the answer would be a 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:16.919 lot easier. It's it's right now one team, and I 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:21.240 don't think that unless it just continues to be more 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.000 of an issue. I think the best way to address 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:27.080 it is to move on in a cautious way and 0:20:27.200 --> 0:20:30.440 let your roster you pick up the pieces until those 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.440 guys can get cleared. And that's going to be an 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.880 interesting in the next couple of days to see what 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.040 you just said if the other teams don't have any 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.399 traces of this, and my hope is that it is 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:47.240 an isolated and one off scenario. I hate it for 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.320 the Marlins, I hate it for anyone that's got to 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.679 go through it, but hopefully it's a quick one and 0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.280 hopefully it's one of those scenarios where people talk about 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:59.520 already that have been asymptomatic, have had no real issues 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.000 and have come back pretty quickly. I don't know if 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:04.960 it's a coincidence or not, but former Cy Young winners 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:07.399 didn't have a good weekend. Now you already have David 0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:10.159 Price and Felix Hernandez who aren't even pitching this season. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.840 Clayton Kershaw tweaks his back, Corey Kluber and Justin Verlander 0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:18.639 looks like their head to the injury list. Just the 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.080 whole process here of these starting pitchers trying to get 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.359 you guys are creatures a habit, and you know, to 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:29.360 try to hit the ground running. No real spring training here, 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.200 or you had one and interrupted by four months. I mean, 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:36.360 is this alarming to you with what you're seeing with 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.840 some of these marquee pitchers? John, Yeah, you know, I 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:42.840 hope not. And because here's what would be my battlecry 0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.520 if I was still playing and talking to my team, 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:50.880 I would say this, Look, we can't be paralyzed by 0:21:51.160 --> 0:21:53.359 the what if scenarios. We've got to do the best 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:57.000 we can to be in shape. I'm really, actually pleasantly 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.960 surprised by the shape everybody's in and really how everybody 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.280 has been. As if there haven't missed any time, you're 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.720 always going to have See here's the problem. Every normal year, 0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:10.640 there's going to be injuries. A matter of fact, I've 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.840 said this forever. Baseball has never addressed really the injury 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:18.040 epidemic that has happened because there's so many pieces and 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.280 so many people who pick up there's so many talented players. 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:24.320 So when you have this scenario and it's going to 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:27.000 be magnified, everyone's going to watch for everything. I think 0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.879 the natural thing to do is say, well, it's because 0:22:29.920 --> 0:22:33.399 of this the teams that bond together and the teams 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:37.880 that overcome. Whenever it is about being this year being uncomfortable, 0:22:38.240 --> 0:22:40.760 I honestly think are going to have a huge advantage 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.720 even if their roster isn't the best roster going into 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:47.560 the season. So I think everyone's got a watchful eye 0:22:47.600 --> 0:22:50.880 for everything that pops up, and I want to believe 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:54.800 that this is just an isolated incident. Unfortunately, and maybe 0:22:54.880 --> 0:22:57.480 not as bad as first reported. And then show hey 0:22:57.520 --> 0:22:59.760 Otani who hadn't been on the mound for twenty months 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.679 out doesn't even register and out coming back from Tommy 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:08.199 John surgery. Yeah, that one was that some more to 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:11.480 do with having pitched, having not pitched in a long time, right. 0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.320 I think having gone through Tommy John surgery and coming 0:23:14.359 --> 0:23:17.800 back in eleven months, I wasn't quite where I needed 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:20.119 to be. After four games. I think he's going to 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.440 be fine because he's had a lot of time of rest, 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:24.720
